The University of Houston is a program on the rise, following their 13-1 season last year; the Cougars have already taken great strides in becoming a premiere college football destination. They have been accepted into the Big East starting in 2013 and will open a brand new stadium the following season. With the success that they have already achieved and the future that is coming, recruits from all over have started to learn as much as they can about the University of Houston. There is a rich pool of talent in and around the Houston area for the 2013 recruiting class and the Cougars have peaked interest from several Houston area stars as well including a duo from La Porte (TX) just a mere 23 miles away from Robertson Stadium.
